Pre-election polls predict failure for newly-established Drąsos Kelias party

If elections to the Seimas (Parliament) of Lithuania were held the upcoming Sunday, the Social Democratic Party, the Labor Party and the Order and Justice Party would get the most of the vote. Meanwhile the Drąsos Kelias (Path of Courage) party, linked to former Kaunas judge Neringa Venckienė, would not make it past the 5-percent threshold, according to a recent survey by public opinion and market research company Spinter Tyrimai for news website delfi.lt.
